    Default Terrova


    Anyone have problems deploying their Terrova? I have to hold down the release with one foot and kick the motor with the other to get it to deploy. That's a lot for an old fat man to do without falling in. Stows fine, and I love the motor---just need to fix the sticking problem.

    Yeah, sometimes mines a bugger to get out. My rod holders kind of get in
    the way of shoving on it like you really need to - it wasn't as bad before
    I put them in the way.

    Seems like the harder I pull it back when I stow it,
    the harder it is to get back out. But I'm always worried about it deploying
    going down the lake too - I run a bungee cord across the head end of it
    if I'm gonna run at any speed with the big motor.

    This probably applies to the Terrova also!!!!

    The lube or possibly pushing down on the shaft as mentioned might help,
    but the Terrovas don't have the lock-nut/catch thing like those pictured.

    Oh, no problem

    joking man - the mount is all different - supposedly better, but since I didn't
    ever have one of the others, I can't say on that.

    You can get more power if u want
    it - 24V 80lb 36V 101 lb

    couple extra buttons on the co-pilot remote, if you go that route -
    autopilot and rabbit "wide open" buttons

    Only problem I've had was first time out, didn't know how it worked, since then no problems.
